Exactly that's what everybody has been telling me...
I now found the reason for emacs not liking utf-8 files: I still had
included a many years old emacs package from our local administrator
that had been designed to remap a few keys when we were sill working
on our Solaris UltraSparcs. I had not thought of the fact that this
piece of software might mess with the input-methods and so effectively
disabled the unicode support.
Emacs now plays nice with utf-8 files in X-Window mode. Inside the xterm

The efont fontset looks a much better than the one I had before.
Thanks for that suggestion.
Thanks for your tips,
